Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

dcp, I am so sorry.

I got my first shingles shot today and decorated the big tree. Last year I made cookies for all the neighbors on my block, but that is not happening this year, so I bought some local commercial cookies while I was getting coffee and made bags for the neighbors and delivered those while walking the dogs.

That's all for me this Christmas Eve. I think I will post on IG and FB and see if anyone wants to knit and zoom or just zoom or do other crafts and zoom - because sitting and knitting is all I've got planned for the evening.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

dcp, I am so sorry.

I did go to the zoo, as we have for at least the past 15 or so year, possibly longer. There were significantly more people there this year (and even last year) than in years past, I think because it is outdoors and feels safer. Maria, Aidan and I had dinner, and now I am home. It was nice, but we are all tired. Being a teacher is hard this year and Maria worked yesterday. So I am home. Nothing tomorrow because my uncle thinks we should continue isolated, and he is not wrong. I am “podded” with Maria’s family, but not mine and THanksgiving was fraught. I think Maria and I are going to go see my mom next week.

I'm so sorry for your loss, dcp.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Thanks, all. It's going to take some time to sink in. I decided not to email my mother, I'll notify her after the holiday.

Meanwhile, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good call, dcp. Take care of yourself.

I intended to do stuff today but that didn’t happen. Doing nothing was actually great, but I probably shouldn’t keep that up all weekend. We’ll see.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm so sorry, dcp. Take excellent care of yourself, and have as lovely an evening as possible.

Happy Merry to everybody!

really pleased with past me this morning. Past me froze some of the leftover Thanksgiving pie and that made a great breakfast this Christmas.

Our wings are not tired.

Excellent plan, msbelle!

What Tom said!

Probably watching Christmas movies and having a quiet day today. Much love and wishes for cheer to all.
